Tablets Concor from pressure - instructions for use and analogues

Tablets Concor from pressure is a modern drug that allows you to gently and quickly stabilize blood pressure. According to experts, this is one of the best medicines used for arterial hypertension, heart problems, angina pectoris and other pathologies. The drug is a powerful adrenoblocker and acts directly on the peripheral nervous system, helping to normalize the heart rate and reduce blood pressure.

Conclusion on pressure: the principle of action

Concor refers to a group of selective beta-blockers. These are special substances that interfere with the production of stress hormones( epinephrine and norepinephrine) and block the transmission of nerve impulses to the heart muscle.

The use of the drug can reduce the heart rate, the need for myocardium in oxygen and remove the increased peripheral resistance of blood vessels. Selective action of Concor does not affect beta2-adrenergic receptors, therefore the drug does not affect the smooth muscles of blood vessels and does not interfere with the course of metabolic processes.

Active active ingredient - bisoprolol is quickly and almost completely absorbed from the digestive tract, regardless of food intake. The pronounced therapeutic effect is observed 3-4 hours after taking the pill and is maintained for 24 hours. This property of the drug allows you to take only 1 tablet per day to stabilize the pressure, and the greatest decrease in blood pressure is fixed after 2 weeks of treatment.

Regular reception Concor prevents attacks of angina and reduces the risk of myocardial infarction. The drug has the following therapeutic effect:

• Hypotensive. Gently reduces pressure and helps maintain it at a stable level.
• Antianginal. Prevents strokes of angina by reducing cardiac output and oxygen demand, providing relaxation of the heart muscle and filling it with blood.
• Antiarrhythmic. Concor prevents the disturbance of the heart rhythm by expanding the coronary arteries and reducing the volume of blood pushed out by the contractions of the heart.

Prolonged intake of the drug in small doses reduces the peripheral resistance of blood vessels and as a result - a person's blood pressure level decreases. With constant, regular use of the medicine, the level of pressure is fully normalized in 2-3 weeks, even in people with chronic heart failure.

Feedback on the application

Review №1

For many years my mother suffers from high blood pressure and arrhythmia. Many of those drugs that were prescribed and drunk during this time either did not help at all, or their effect was short-lived.

There were those who did only harm. Recently, she was assigned Concor, and I can say that this drug proved to be better than others.

Of course, he also has contraindications and side effects, my mother did not have any discomfort during admission. The pressure gradually stabilized, the heart rate too. Overall well-being also improved. More than two months it does not take, makes breaks between the courses, so that there are no side effects.

Review №2

I have almost no harmful habits, I try to go in for sports, but recently I was diagnosed with hypertension. The doctor appointed Concor's daily intake in the morning. One package cost 250 rubles: the tool is not cheap, but not too expensive.

I accept the second month, the condition has improved, the pressure is stable. I want to note that it is necessary to take it only as prescribed by the doctor, because the pressure of Concor reduces very much, and there can be serious negative reactions of the body. Therapy should be done only under the supervision of a doctor. I have no contraindications, and I can not note the side effects of strong ones, but hypotonic drugs certainly will not do.

Review No.3

A year and a half ago, I started having hypertension, and the doctor prescribed Conkor's tablets. I took six months, and began to feel better. But later on began side effects: headaches, dizziness, problems with the digestive system. I felt constant weakness sometimes went in a semi-faint state. The doctor advised to cancel the drug, but not immediately, but gradually reducing the dosage.

After complete discontinuation of the drug, the pressure began to rise again, after going to the clinic, another means, milder in its action and with fewer side effects, was discharged. Of course, Concor helps with high blood pressure, but mostly it is used for angina and other heart problems, so you need to look carefully at contraindications.

Review No.4

In our family, I and my mother suffer from increased blood pressure. Have tried already a lot of money, but the most gentle and effective action has proved to be Concor from pressure. Tablets in the form of a heart of 5 mg can be easily divided in half and take 2.5 mg each.

We drink in the morning on an empty stomach or after eating just 2.5 mg. The pressure decreases gradually: the drug has a prolonged effect. Like any such remedy, Concor has a number of contraindications, but we have been drinking it for a long time and have not noticed any negative so far.

Tablets do not affect the speed of reactions, so they will suit even those who are constantly behind the wheel. One package costs 300 rubles, enough for about a month. Minuses, as such, he did not notice. The only thing I would like to note is that you can not throw it sharply, as the doctor told us, otherwise there could be serious consequences.
